Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) technology has received considerable interest in the healthcare field, particularly in pediatric oncology. Thepurpose of this study was to examine the existing and future applications of VR in reducing the discomfort associated withpediatric oncology procedures such as bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow aspirate, and lumbar puncture. A comprehensive search was conducted across numerous databases from 2005 to 2023, embracing several study designs to provide a strong evidence foundation. Using diversion and relaxation strategies, VR can help pediatric cancer patients cope with the emotional issues they confront during operations. VR has shown significant potential for lowering pain and anxiety during several pediatric medical procedures. Patient feedback focused on VR’s empowering and anxiety-reducing benefits, while healthcare staff reported increased patient participation and procedural efficiency. VR implementation challenges include the cost of specialized technology, the need for specific virtual settings, and the need for training healthcare workers. VR shows promise in improving the pediatric cancer experience, but more study and cooperation are required to realize its full potential.

叙述性评论:通过虚拟现实改变儿科肿瘤护理--疼痛管理和增强患者体验
虚拟现实(VR)技术在医疗保健领域,尤其是儿科肿瘤学领域受到了广泛关注。本研究的目的是探讨虚拟现实技术在减少与骨髓活检、骨髓抽吸和腰椎穿刺等儿科肿瘤手术相关的不适方面的现有和未来应用。我们在 2005 年至 2023 年期间的众多数据库中进行了全面搜索,其中包括多项研究设计,以提供强有力的证据基础。利用转移和放松策略,VR 可以帮助儿科癌症患者应对手术过程中面临的情绪问题。VR 在降低儿科医疗过程中的疼痛和焦虑方面显示出巨大的潜力。患者的反馈主要集中在 VR 增强能力和减少焦虑的好处上,而医护人员则表示患者的参与度和手术效率都有所提高。实施 VR 所面临的挑战包括专业技术的成本、对特定虚拟环境的需求以及对医护人员的培训需求。VR在改善儿科癌症治疗体验方面大有可为,但要充分发挥其潜力,还需要更多的研究与合作。
